Week three with the worms was similar to week two, but the worms seemed to be quite a bit more active. Every time I looked, there were always worms at the surface, and I could see the oats moving quite a bit. The potatoes seemed to dry up quicker and I found myself replacing them frequently. Whenever I took the old potatoes out, there were usually worms clinging to or half of their bodies burrowed into the potato. Something even more interesting, though, is that when I put the fresh, juicy potatoes back into their habitat, the oats seemed to come to life as worms came up to get a bite to eat. When the worms were above the surface, they tended to bunch together around the potatoes or at the edge of the container. The color of the worms seems to be changing. They look a lot lighter than they did when I first got them. Some of them look lighter than others. Other than that, their appearance hasn't changed. Overall, this week their activity has increased, they seem to bunch together near the food source, and their color is becoming lighter.
